Hallo all,
i have gps logger/receiver "Wintec G-Rays 2" and i have some problems to
use it with gnome-bluetooth. How can i troubleshoot to make it work out
of the box?

Here is some more info:
sdptool  records 00:0B:0D:87:BA:B1
Service Name: SPP slave
Service Description: Bluetooth SPP V1.03
Service RecHandle: 0x10000
Service Class ID List:
  "Serial Port" (0x1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 1
Language Base Attr List:
  code_ISO639: 0x656e
  encoding:    0x6a
  base_offset: 0x100


To make it work i use CLI:

edited
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
rfcomm4 {
        bind yes;
        device 00:0B:0D:87:BA:B1;
        channel 1;
        comment "Serial Port";
}

$ rfcomm connect 4
$ sudo gpsd -N /dev/rfcomm4
$ xgps

Regards,
Alexey
